Cracking down is making things worse.

For those who supply drugs, it’s important to remember that many women become involved in the drug trade due to economic precarity. The premium that illicit substances offer on the market, coupled with a spiralling, create the conditions that make drug-related profits all the more alluring for those struggling to make ends meet.

From having a partner or family member arrested for drug use or being arrested due to their own drug use, the consequences for women can be vast. The arrest of a mother can be particularly destabilising for a family, more so for single-parent families where the mum has primary responsibility.The officers forced Child Q to bend over, spread her legs and cough in order to search for drugs – the very same search that new prisoners have to do.

Risk factors for natural menopause before the age of 45: evidence from two British population-based birth cohort studies - BMC Women's HealthRisk factors for natural menopause before the age of 45: evidence from two British population-based birth cohort studies - BMC Women's HealthBackground Menopause that occurs before the age of 45 and is not medically induced (referred to here as ‘early natural menopause’) affects around one in 10 women and has serious health consequences. These consequences include increased risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and type 2 diabetes. Methods We investigate risk factors for the onset of natural menopause before the age of 45 in two population-based prospective cohort studies in Britain: the 1958 cohort following 8959 women and the 1970 cohort following 8655 women. These studies follow women from birth to adulthood, and we use harmonized data on birth and early life characteristics, reproductive health, health behaviour, and socioeconomic characteristics for 6805 women who were pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal or had undergone natural menopause. Of these 6805 women, 3614 participated in the 1958 cohort (of which 368 had early menopause) and 3191 participated in the 1970 cohort (of which 206 had early menopause). Taking a life course approach, we focus on three distinct life stages - birth/early life, childhood, and early adulthood - to understand when risk factors are most harmful. Respecting the temporal sequence of exposures, we use a series of multivariable logistic regression models to estimate associations between early menopause and each potential risk factor adjusted for confounders. Results We find that early menopause is influenced by circumstances at birth. Women born in lower social class families, whose mother smoked during the pregnancy or who were breastfed 1 month or less were more likely to undergo early menopause. Early menopause is also associated with poorer cognitive ability and smoking in childhood. Adult health behaviour also matters. Smoking is positively correlated with early menopause, while regular exercise and moderate frequency of alcohol drinking in women’s early thirties are associated with reduced risk of early menopause.
